It took a little while to figure this out.. I have created a document and a little patch file to make it painless to build this on Mac OS. Intel only, PPC doesn’t work right now unless someone wants to make a patch for it. The daemon mode isn’t working yet, I will take a look at that eventually, but others are welcome to help out with a patch too Smiley

Instructions and files are all here http://heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/mac-build/

Here is an updated binary with the menus and stuff fixed to work like other Mac apps..

Your wallet and debug.log and such are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin so back this up regularly.

Currently I’m working on adding OpenCL support to increase the yield so expect to see more updates soon.

Thanks for checking it out, let me know how it works out for you!

We should have a gentleman’s agreement to postpone the GPU arms race as long as we can for the good of the network. It’s much easer to get new users up to speed if they don’t have to worry about GPU drivers and compatibility. It’s nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now.
